Impact With none of Golladay, Marvin Jones or Danny Amendola under contract in 2021, Holmes said Tuesday that he hopes to remake the Lions' receiving corps in a similar fashion to how the Rams re-made theirs in 2017 and 2018, when Los Angeles utilized free agency, the trade market and the middle rounds of the draft to give then-Rams quarterback Jared Goff a full arsenal of receivers. Considering those moves included the 2017 free-agent signing of Robert Woods and the 2018 trade acquisition of Brandin Cooks, it doesn't necessarily seem as if Holmes -- who served the Rams as the director of college scouting at the time -- will be shy about locking up quality receivers this time around, should he take that same approach. However, the Lions less-than-ideal cap situation (especially after acquiring Goff) might make it a challenge to keep Golladay in Detroit, as the franchise tag is projected to be around $16 million for receivers and the Lions were still a few million dollars over the expected salary cap before signing deep-threat Tyrell Williams (shoulder) this week.
